Can iterated rationality lead to strengthening when grammatical exhaustification doesn't? Read my new paper w/ @_Danny_Fox and @roni_katzir to find out. (Spoiler: No. When exhaustification does not apply, strengthening does not arise.)

Giving a talk today at the annual meeting of @LingSocAm with @_Danny_Fox & @roni_katzir on the irrelevance of contextually given states for the computation of scalar implicatures. (2pm PST)

New paper with @_Danny_Fox with our best attempt to evaluate models of iterated probabilistic reasoning and whether they can replace traditional grammatical explanation of semantic/pragmatic phenomena.
